I read on here a few days ago about one of the members at a meeting where everyone had to go around and declare their pronouns, despite the group consisting of 90% women. Isn't it a rather rude invasion of privacy ask this of people? A bit like asking someone they've just met to declare their sexual preferences, or their social class background, or their ethnicity, or perhaps more pertinently their mental health status? I object not least because it forces self-definition through gender ideology's own language, to suggests that women using default pronouns conform to and are happy with oppressive gender stereotypes, but because it's not anyone's business . Why should it matter to anyone else if I like wearing high heels and make-up or doing DIY, or even - shock horror - both?! It's bad enough when they ask for 'gender identity' on job application forms, but at least they're private. Isn't this violating some sort of code of conduct - in the workplace, for example? Isn't the point of equality and diversity policies to make issues like 'gender identity' irrelevant?
